Chapter 199

Even if she didn't have any immediate family to reunite with, she might still be spending the New Year with uncles and aunts. How could she possibly agree to spend the New Year alone with him at someone else's house? He himself found the idea absurd. This kind of trust had clearly crossed a certain line. Even between boyfriend and girlfriend, it's normal to maintain a certain level of vigilance in certain situations. After all, "protecting oneself" is the most important thing. Xia Yan fell silent for a moment, holding a key in his hand, a rare look of helplessness appearing in his eyes. If she found out that he had just been acting, it probably wouldn't just be a matter of one punch, right? Before they met in person, the girl's online aggression was dozens of times greater than his. Perhaps she had only maintained this calm and aloof image because she felt shy after meeting him? ... "In the drawer under the table, in the drawer under the table..." The sound of a down jacket rubbing against the floor broke the silence in the room. Hua Xin muttered softly as she placed her water glass on the table, then squatted down and searched for stomach medicine as Xia Yan had instructed. She opened several drawers in succession but couldn't find any stomach medicine. The drawers only contained a few nail tools and books/notebooks—nothing like tablets or bottles of stomach medicine... "Uh..." Hua Xin's eyes narrowed, her hand stiffening as she opened the cabinet door. She stared at the bottle, about the size of a thermos, containing what appeared to be some unknown white powder, and fell silent. Stomach medicine? Even a cow couldn't eat that much! The girl, somewhat speechless, took the large bottle out. After reading the label, she suddenly realized, "Oh... egg white powder..." She had almost forgotten that Xia Yan was a fitness enthusiast; how could he not have something like this to aid his fitness? She searched everywhere, even under the table and in every cabinet, but still couldn't find any stomach medicine. Just as Hua Xin was about to ask Xia Yan again, something suddenly occurred to her. That's right! Hua Xin's eyes narrowed slightly. She put the egg white powder back, then stood up with a curious look, looking around Xia Yan's bedroom. Very clean, very simple. This was her first impression of the bedroom. The bed was neatly made, the blankets were folded up, and unlike some single men who carelessly litter, the trash can only contained a few scattered plastic wrappers from snacks and pieces of fruit. Not bad, no paper. Hua Xin nodded secretly, her approval of Xia Yan increasing significantly. Besides that, there was the computer and wardrobe on the desk, and the exercise equipment and yoga mat in the corner. "Wow, it's huge..." the girl murmured with a touch of admiration. Xia Yan's room was already large enough to include her bedroom and living room, not to mention the clean balcony outside. But these were clearly not her main concerns... Heh heh, just hope she doesn't find anything she shouldn't see. Hua Xin glanced guiltily at the door, and seeing no one, cautiously opened the wardrobe. Besides neatly arranged clothes and shoe boxes, there was nowhere to hide. The girl carefully opened a shoe box a crack and peeked inside. Hmm... more shoes. This doesn't make sense! As a virile young man with so much money, how could he not buy that kind of thing to exercise... Could it be that Xia Yan is impotent? Does he even finish instantly when faced with these things? Hua Xin frowned, her small hand on her chin, feigning deep thought. Logically speaking, the room's cleanliness and lack of odor were due to Xia Yan's self-discipline and attention to his image and personal hygiene, not the two options mentioned in the next sentence. Given Xia Yan's experiences growing up, this was indeed normal. But not having that kind of thing was very abnormal. The girl carefully recalled every detail of her time with Xia Yan. Hmm, speaking of which, neither Xia Yan nor Lao Shui seemed to have talked much about that aspect... Shouldn't this be one of the three most frequently discussed topics for boys? H, witnessing, history. But Xia Yan never seemed to bring up this topic, whether in real life with Xiang Guan and Mu Feng, or when chatting and arguing online with her. He didn't even look for resources or borrow websites! But he was indeed a normal man who liked her and enjoyed women. "..." "Could it be that he'll be here soon...?" Hua Xin silently mourned in her heart, expressing her understanding. I'm sorry, Xia Yan. I shouldn't have discovered your secret. If God gave me another chance, I would definitely... "Click." "?" Before the girl could finish her silent mourning, the door behind her suddenly closed, making a crisp click sound, leaving Hua Xin staring blankly at the white door. 152. The matter... seems to have happened later. ? 4k2 "Xia Yan, you dog!!!" "What do you mean! Don't hide outside and not make a sound!?" "Bang bang bang bang bang..." Hua Xin angrily shouted while occasionally slapping the solid wall with her small hands, but for the door locked from the outside, unless she now had the strength comparable to Tyson to lift her foot and perform a precise etiquette QAQ combo, it was impossible to open the door. "You pervert..." "You dare to cheat on me... no, you dare to fake illness and fool me, you dare to open the door!!" "I know you're outside, don't hide and stay silent!" "I'm calling the police, you'll be going to jail!!" The girl seemed to be gritting her teeth, her hand on the doorknob frantically twisting it. For a moment, her eyes were filled with anger at being deceived by Xia Yan and a sudden sense of panic. Seriously, it's normal to panic when someone is suddenly locked in a room. Unless you have a Gatling gun that spews blue flames. At the same time, a bold idea gradually emerged in her mind. Could Xia Yan be planning to... burn some strange Indian herbal oil and incense through the crack in the door and some other strange place, filling the enclosed bedroom... then lock the door, leaving her nowhere to escape, and finally, she could only lie helplessly on the bed, panting softly, watching Xia Yan slowly take off his coat and then press down on her, powerless... This 18+ scenario instantly conjured up a 1 hour, 5 minutes, and 37-second video in Hua Xin's mind, with her and Xia Yan as the main characters. Oh my god... absolutely... absolutely not something like this!!!! Hua Xin, who was gripping the doorknob, suddenly felt a chill in her hand, took two steps back in terror, and her eyes, which had been filled with anger, turned into panic as she looked at the bedroom door. She wasn't joking; this wasn't just her being narcissistic... If Xia Yan were a girl and she were a boy, she probably would have done the same thing, driven by lust, right? Girls with male-centric thinking often subconsciously try to see things from a male perspective. It's just that some parts are reasonable, and some parts are not. Xia Yan, I misjudged you... After all this time together, you've been pretending to be such a gentleman, while secretly you're a dark and twisted pervert who only wants to...
